Ubuntu 15.04, the screenshot is just googled to illustrate the page I was on (it's not reflecting my settings either) - and when hitting "Quit", it quite happily destroyed things. I can't tell if "Back" would have saved me.
It might have been the crypt option. What I certainly remember is selecting the unknown partition (which was the encrypted luks lvm of my previous install), clicking edit, choosing something which I hoped might be the right thing to open it up (something along the lines of an "encrypted container" choice or what it has? I don't think it wasn't explicitely named LVM or dm-crypt), and then I had dev mappers appear at the top. I discovered it would want to create something new instead of accessing my existing stuff, so I clicked "Quit" - but at that point, it has already written stuff to disk.
Again if you check the base installer, it does the same thing before allowing you to use the mappers after you specify dm-crypt for some partition - writing the LVM or dm-crypt to disk. I guess this was adapted at this point for similar behavior. However, the text installer doesn't do that *without any warning*, unlike ubiquity seems to do..
